Mustasch - Killing It For Life (Tritonus Records) Review by Steve Thomas-Green Back in the 2000’s, our promos arrived via cd, normally with cardboard sleeves (ah, the good old days) and the site I ran at the �me had a writer that loved Mustasch. So whenever a new album arrived, it was sent off to him straight away. So although I’ve been aware of the Swedish rockers since their very early days, this is the first �me I’ve actually sat down and listened to one of their albums. So obviously, I can’t speak about their back catalogue, which I now have to discover, but Killing It For Life is an album of super catchy tracks that sit somewhere between classic 80s Metal and classic 80s Hard Rock. I definitely hear the melody lines of the Scorpions, the rhythm sec�on of Ozzy Osbourne’s early solo albums and the hard rocking of AC/DC and Accept etc… There’s also a tribute to Freddie Mercury on the album as well. So yeah, I know why their albums always got snapped up so fucking quick. On one hand I’ve so glad I’ve finally discovered Mustasch as they fit in 100% with my taste in 80s Rock and Metal… but on the other hand, I’m absolutely gu�ed it’s taken me this long to actually hear them. The music from 1980 to 1985 will always be my favourite era and this fits in perfectly with that �meline. Ralf Gyllenhammar has a voice that is both familiar and has its own iden�ty, if that makes any sense. And the music follows a similar blueprint. Straight away I can pick out bits of various ar�sts that I can latch onto, but all of the songs on this album also have a “Mustasch” feel to them. So I’m sorry it has taken so long to make your acquaintance… but you guys fucking rock!!!! h�ps://www.facebook.com/Mustaschofficial/
